And what goals am I unconsciously chasing?What’s my relationship with my phone actually costing me?I’m sharing the six reasons I’ve decided to take a full year off Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook—including the moment that broke my heart (and made my choice feel really clear).Whether you’re a mom, a dreamer, a woman of faith, or just someone craving less noise and more depth—this one’s for you.👀 Want more?→ Watch past episodes on YouTube→ Subscribe here on Apple or Spotify to stay in the loop→ Come find all the things at www.michaelabelle.co
